San Ildefonso Pueblo Painting of an American Bison by Tse Ye Mu - C3918A
This is a realistic rendition of an American Bison by Romando Vigil (1902-1978) Tse Ye Mu - Falling Cloud. He has shown him standing on a snowy hilltop as if eyeing that evergreen bush for lunch. It is an excellent presentation with the hair of the bison's head in minute detail. The plant materials are presented in good scale and detail.
Romando Vigil was one of the San Ildefonso self-taught artists in the early part of the 20th century. He was a leader within the San Ildefonso Watercolor Movement, a movement that caught fire during 1915 to 1917. It fostered an art form unmatched in the cultural history of the world.
